- [AJAX patent threat to giants under the hammer | Reg Developer](http://www.regdeveloper.co.uk/2008/03/25/ajax_patent_auction/)
    
    Seriously ludicrous. If anyone owns the patents to “sideband communications” between client and server its surely IBM with its 3270 arsenal. What is AJAX? 3270 with colour and angle brackets.

- [My (fake) interview with Michael Cote of RedMonk | Negative Approach – CNET Blogs](http://www.cnet.com/8301-13846_1-9909694-62.html)
    
    Its almost like Dave lives right inside Cote’s head. Scary place that – all zombies, pastries, black shirt and pant combos, cool belt searches and blimps. Oh yeah. and liquor.
